Bidding Styles: Bidding Up Style and Spot Sale Style
(1) Bidding Up Style:
Plural bidders bid up the price of each item and the Highest Bidder at the closure of the Auction becomes the Winner.

✜ Automatic Extension of Auction
1st Extension: When bid was placed within 3 minutes in prior to the Auction Closure Time, Auction is extended for 3 minutes.
2nd Extension onward: When bid was placed within 2 minutes in prior to the closure of the 1st Extension of Auction,
Auction will be extended for another 2 minutes and the same will follow until the successful bidder wins the item.

Bidder can place the Highest Bid out of Bidder's own purchase budget any time in prior to the Auction Closure.

Bidder wants to bid on plural items, Bidder can manage to bid on each item more easily by using AUTOBID,
when Auction Closure Time draws near.
